Lima man gets 4-year sentence for robbery

LIMA — Decorion Dawson, a 26-year-old Lima man who was in court for his second gun-related offense in three years, was sentenced Monday to four years in prison on a first-degree felony charge of aggravated robbery.

Dawson is also facing a misdemeanor assault charge in Lima Municipal Court stemming from a Dec. 27 alleged incident at the Lima Waffle House restaurant on Neubrecht Road that reportedly left a Lima woman with serious injuries.

In the robbery case, police say Dawson was one of two men who arranged a drug deal on the early-morning hours of Nov. 7 at a residence on Heathway Lane in Lima and who subsequently robbed two men at gunpoint who intended to purchase the drugs.
